Lynn man killed in 2-car crash in Revere

REVERE, Mass. (AP) — State police said a 23-year-old Lynn man has been killed in a two-car in Revere.

Authorities said a flatbed tow truck on Friday struck from behind a 1998 Honda Civic stopped at a red light southbound on the Lynnway. Both vehicles caught fire upon impact.

Twenty-two-year-old motorist Ronnie Huon (HOO-on) and 18-year-old passenger Cassandra Pok were able to escape and were transported by ambulance to Salem Hospital. But police said a 23-year-old Lynn man sitting in the Honda's rear seat, was unable to escape and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

His identity is being withheld pending notification of family.

Tow truck, 23-year-old Derek Gallien, of Peabody, was not injured in the crash.
